LONDON - The City is about to meet the part of Italy that works: the first conference entirely devoted to companies that are listed on Aim Italia, the market of the Italian Stock Exchange reserved for small and medium enterprises (Smes), starts in London today.
The event places 25 companies in the spotlight, which operate in different sectors, from traditional to high-tech, from artificial intelligence to the marketing of fruit and vegetable products, to reflect the great variety and excellence of Italian Smes.
The goal of the London conference is to attract international investors, deflecting their attention from the uncertainties of current Italian politics with their negative impact on markets to focus instead on the concrete strategies and growth objectives of some of Italy's most dynamic companies.
“The first conference in London entirely devoted to Aim Italia highlights how far the market has grown and attracted the interest of entrepreneurs and international investors, - said Barbara Lunghi, head of Primary Markets at Borsa Italiana. – We started work on strengthening the Aim ecosystem a long time ago, when it was not an obvious thing to do, and the success of the London event at a difficult time rewards our efforts. Our ability to support our Smes is an important factor in our country's economic growth and today's event is another step in that direction.
The 113 companies listed on Aim, 27 of which joined this year, have an average 27% free float. Their combined market cap is 7.7 billion euros. Since 2001, when Aim started, they have raised 3.7 billion euros. This year so far they have raised 1.3 million euros.
